the ZEN MASTER, "POP", and RILEY talking "SPEEDY GONZALEZ" to 1,000 NBA Wins!..."SQUEEZE the ORANGE" Who in the LOGO was the fastest to 1K W's as these Three have CHIPS, PARADE Routes, and NBA Star Players to prove it! @PhilJackson11 #GreggPopovich #PatRiley

The best of the best in the last 30 years in the "Logo" manning the sidelines. That's right the fastest of the fast getting to 1,000 wins in the "Logo" and the Top 3 are Legends in their own right with two already Hall of Famers.

Spurs Gregg Popovich has been often mentioned with the best and he reached 1,000 wins a few days back. His five chips in the last 16 seasons is also the best run in recent memory talking NBA Lead Man.  Now he joins in my estimation the two best and now the three best including "Pops" and the fastest to 1,000 NBA wins.

Top 3 fastest NBA Head Coaches to 1,000 W's (in order):

1. Phil Jackson dba Zen Master (1,000-423)
#BullsNation #LakerNation 11 Rings

Vitals: Air Jordan Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant, SHAQ

P.J. did it with the combination of mind, body, and spirit as he was known to have players read books on road trips to keep their mind sharp. It didn't hurt he always had the best staff with coaches such as Jim Clemons, Johnny Bach (Defensive Guru), and Tex Winter (Triangle Offense) to name a few. Those players though...c'mon now it is the best of the best but you still have to manage huge Ego's and Personalities and Phil did it the best.

2. Pat Riley dba "Riley" (1,000-434)
#ShowTime #KnicksNation #HeatNation 5 Rings

Vitals: "Sky Hook", "Magic", Worthy, Ewing, Wade County, SHAQ

Riley did it with the 82-game challenge and that is every night "No Nights Off". Also those patented Riley long 4-Hour plus practices and his innate ability to adapt his coaching style to what was working with. Yes three stops as he didn't win the Big One in World's Most Famous but was darn close if it wasn't for the Bulls Teams he might have had at least two chips. Jeff Van Gundy, Randy Pfund, Stan Van Gundy, and Dick Harter to name a few helped Riley through those great teams.

3. Gregg Popovich dba "Pop" (1,000-462)
#SpursFamily 5 Rings

Vitals: " The Admiral", "Dunc", TP9, and Manu

"Pop" is a no frills kinda guy that has a simple system you build around a core but you play as a team as no one player or players are bigger than what we do. He is the Benchmark now as every team or organization tries to emulate the "Spurs Way". Yes "Pop" will tell you its a Players league but his assistants are huge like with the other two above coaches. Mike Budenholzer (Hawks), Doc Rivers (Clippers), Monty Williams (Pelicans), and many more scattered through the league with GMs such as Sam Presti (Thunder), Danny Ferry (Hawks), and Rob Hennigan (Magic) to name a few more as well.

These three coaches have laid the ground work for other NBA Coaches to try and follow as Riley is the only one on this list with the GM Title to win as an Exec even though "Pop" is connected at the hip to current Spurs President R.C. Buford.
